Tin has been known since ancient times. We do not know who or when it was found. It is mentioned in the Old Testament. The symbol (Sn) comes from the Latin word “stannum.” “Tin Cry” is the sound that it makes when it is bent. “Tin Pest” is the condition in which white tin suddenly transforms into gray tin at a very cold temperature. Tin cans obviously used to be made of tin, but now they are made of steel with just a thin layer of tin. Tin is found primarily in the earths crust. 2 types of tin- White tin and Grey tin. Tin is mentioned in Numbers, Isaiah, and Ezekiel.
